SASH-CORD FASTENER.

SEECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 645,737, dated March 20, 1900.

Original application filed January 6 1899, Serial No. 701,324. Divided and this application filed September 18, 1899. Serial No. 730,822. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MICHAEL W. NEUENs,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Port Washington, in the county of Ozaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash- Oord Fasteners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its object to provide for ready disconnection of weight-cords and window-sash stiles. It therefore consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts constituting the sash-cord t 5 fastener, hereinafter particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed, this application being a division of my application, Serial No. 701,324, for patent for improvements in windows, filed January 6, 1899.

Figure 1 of the drawings represents an end elevation of my fastener in connection with a Window-sash stile and weight-cord; Fig. 2, a

partly-sectional view of the aforesaid assemblage of parts, this View being indicated by lines 2 2 in the preceding figure; Fig. 3, a perspective View of a shell constituting part of the fastener, and Fig. 4 a horizontal section on the plane indicated byline 4 4 in the first 3o figure.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A represents a portion of a stile of a window-sash, and B a weight-cord attached to the stile by a fastener in accordance with my invention.

3 5 The sash end of the weight-cord is turned on a bolt 0, that extends through an aperture 1) in the head of an annular metallic shell D,

provided with a peripheral notch c, engaged by said cord, and a nut E is run on the bolt in opposition to the shell-head. The ends e of a spring-metal yoke F extend through other apertures d in the shell-head and are bent in against the turn of the cord B on bolt 0, the head of the bolt being in opposition to said bent ends of said yoke and the nut E tightened to clamp these yoke ends in place. The spring-yoke F under contraction and the shell D engage the usual cord-knot recess in the sash-stile, and the expansive tendency of said yoke operates to hold the removable cord-fastener snug inplace. To disconnect the cord from the sash-stile, it is only neces sary to pull the fastener out of the recess in said stile.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A sash-cord fastener comprising a peripherally-notched annular shell having an apertured head, a bolt extending through a shellhead aperture, a nut run on the bolt in opposition to the shell-head, and a spring-metal yoke having its ends extended through other shell-head apertures andbent in to come between the bolt-head and a turn of sash-weight cord on the bolt within the shell. p

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wis cousin, in the presence of two witnesses.
